Sermon for January 18th, 2015

There's an old saying that to a hammer everything begins to look like a nail. I suppose that to a Christian everything begins to look like a Christ, and perhaps that's not such a bad thing, to see and recognize the image of our Lord reflected in the face of another, even where it was not intended.

It's true that not all Christ types in film and literature are intentional, and since this was a film based on historical fact I wasn't even looking for a Christ type, to be honest. But there he was. It's hard to ignore a Christ type when it's built into the very name itself. Christopher. Christ-opher.
